I've never eaten here but damn if the customer service isn't the absolute best. Some idiot decided to submit a $94 order under my information, but conveniently left their name on the order.. I'm looking at you Mr. Andy Zeng.. I called and explained the order placed was fraudulent and that it could not be me since I live in a completely different state. They cancelled the order and contacted corporate on my behalf without any hesitation. If I'm ever in Pasadena, I know where I'll be stopping for a bite. Thanks for helping me take out the credit card fraud trash guys! Granted the moron kind of gave it away himself but you're the best for being so cooperative! This broke nursing student appreciates you! read more

Yummmmmy. Generous portions. Authentic. Recommend any one most likely; I've been to the Pasadena one. read more

I've eaten at this place a few times and the aptmosphere is warm and inviting. There doesn't seem to be a bad time to go and grab a table. Their Chicken Pesto Panini is my favorite sandwich they have. Plenty of chicken that is cooked and seasoned. The bread is toasted to a nice crisp texture. Their Steak Panini is great if you love red meat. I have yet to try their Salmon Brie Panini and that is my next target. I have heard their Ka-Boxes are a perfect to go order when you have an event at the Hollywood Bowl or Greek Theatre. read more

We came here and ordered the family combo chicken and it did not disappoint. The chicken was flavorful, tender, and served nice and warm--exactly what you want. The portion was generous, perfect for sharing. Service was good - The servers were friendly, attentive, and made sure we were taken care of throughout the meal. Place is clean and they have an outdoor area too. Overall, a solid spot for a satisfying meal. Would definitely come back! read more

Food always fresh and grilled meats are fantastic not overcooked! We ordered family meal cane with three chicken skewers onion tomatoes bell pepper....we got half basmati rice abd half bulger oh plus a pasta dish that had two pieces of toasted bread . I would get family meal again but not the pasta it was just ok. Be sure to ask for hot sauce if you want to amplify! Our first server was ok she had a bit of an attitude. Like don't let me sit where i wanted to. Seemed annoyed we didn't know what we wanted to order and asked questions. However, our server might have taken lunch or left she didn't tell us but our second server was very nice! Remembered to get our underground parking validated and had plenty of leftovers for the next day! read more

Came to this location for the first time earlier this week for lunch. I see they have multiple locations throughout LA County. This particular one is located at the Paseo. I was surprised at how large the restaurant is and how busy it was for a week day. After reading reviews and looking at photos of their dishes, I ordered the charbroiled chicken shish kabob. The chicken was juicy and flavorful. I ate every last bite. I'd hate to be a food runner here as the plates are HUGE. My friend ordered the beef koobideh. That was also very tasty! This place has lots of seating indoors and outdoors. Can't wait to return and have this same plate again. They validate for parking. read more

Came for lunch...ordered the Chicken Pesto Panini sandwich. Your choice of salad(s)...I selected the Romaine Avocado. The place is very well designed, clean and looks new. I ordered what I thought was black ice tea...so I put two packets of stevia to sweeten it up...it is already a flavored tea. My bad for not tasting it first. My refill...no stevia...the ice tea is great. I sat at the bar as I came alone...by noon there was a small crowd...so plan ahead. The staff is overwhelmined with food-delievery pick up...making it difficult to mange the seated folks. While the restaurant appears not too crowded...the chief is making meals for 10 times the doordash people...ugh. The food...is great. I highly recommend this restaurant. Very good! Next time I'll order a kabob...it all looks very good. They offer a Family style meal that feeds 3-5 for $57.99. So think four people for $60.00 before drinks and or appetizers. Not bad. Prices are fair. Panini kabob grill.com is there website. The service is great...servers are attentive. Make this one of your stops. read more

Had a very nice falafel platter here today. The falafel balls were crispy and delicious. On the platter is hummus, tzatziki, salad and pita. Honestly this platter is more than enough for two people. Washed it all down with a tasty beer. Service is outstanding, friendly and fast. Dine indoor or al fresco. Located at the Paseo outdoor mall near the convention center. Paseo also has ample parking. Recommend. read more

Great restaurant with good food and excellent service. Hector and Carlos are amazing. We like this restaurant since they were in Santa Monica. The family style kebab special is truly special.. The Caesar and the Greek salads were fresh and crisp. The chicken kebab cooked to perfection and was very tender and juicy. And the bulgur was delicious. I definitely recommend Panini Kabob Grill in Pasadena. read more

I ordered the charbroiled chicken shish kabob with Mediterranean salad and grilled vegetables, along with a cup of lentil soup and a side of hummus and pita. The hummus and pita were a 10/10--super fresh and really delicious. I also loved the shish kabob plate; the chicken was very juicy and flavorful, and the grilled vegetables paired perfectly with the salad, which really topped off the meal nicely. The lentil soup wasn't my favorite and is something I'd probably skip next time, but I would definitely come back for the kabobs and hummus. I didn't dine in, so I can't speak much to the service, but the food itself was great. read more

This is new in paseo but it's good location! I always go to in Glendale but in Glendale it's always busy. Food are actually good and serving are big. Same with kids menu serving is huge. I just don't like the service. Service is slow and our server is not friendly and hard to get attention and ask for assistance. When we went here we ordered kids meal and didn't give any utensils. My son is 21months atleast give us plastic utensils and water cup too. Ambience is nice clean and not crowded. They also validate for parking! read more

We had dinner at Panini Kebab Grill in Pasadena a few weeks ago. We were a party of 4 and ordered the Family Style Kabobs special. The platter came with 3 skewers of chicken and vegetables atop of bulgur pilaf, and Caesar salad and Greek salad. Everything was delicious and perfectly cooked. The family meal is a perfect choice for sharing. Their iced tea (organic ginger peach) is also amazing. The customer service was good. Hector was very accommodating. There is plenty of parking on the street and nearby parking structures. read more

I've been to some of the other locations and I loved them. But what happened to this place? I was surprised to see the low rating and after visiting once, I now know why. They do not offer any modification so if you're allergic to anything or have certain preferences, they will not take care of you. They said they prepare everything all in advance a few days before and there are no fresh ingredients in the kitchen to prepare anything except for lettuce. Such a shame because I thought everything was from scratch. Otherwise, service was just ok. No one there looked happy and was very sad to be there. Our waters weren't filled and no one checked in on us. The food was decent, nothing amazing. Everything came out warm and not hot or fresh. You are getting a big portion so quantity over quality here. Upon leaving, the waitress (Blanca P) brought over the check and tablet to pay. It allowed me to select a tip option, which I did 18% for lunch thinking it wasn't great service. There were only 4-5 other tables and plenty of staff so not like they were busy. When I walked out, I noticed they changed the tip to 20% which I'm sure I didn't select. Not sure what happened there. Overall, I won't go back and if anyone asks if I can recommend a Mediterranean place, I won't be suggesting this one. read more

The service and food here are always amazing. Everything tastes so fresh, and Panini Kabob never fails to deliver a great meal. The staff is incredibly nice, courteous, and welcoming every time I visit. The atmosphere is also very chill and relaxing. Definitely one of my favorite spots! read more

Improvements are needed with customer experience. I walked inside to make a carryout order, and watched as the staff seated three groups that arrived after me without acknowledging me, even as I made eye contact two of those times. They seemed much more interested in fulfilling orders made for delivery and for seated customers. When ordering, I asked for cheese on the side and no tomatoes. I was also told they would not provide croutons, not a problem. Well, I didn't get any cheese, but I did get tomatoes and croutons, so that's three errors across two items. I saw many others have a similar experience, getting ignored by the staff. It's unfortunate and I hope they'll improve their customer experience for all diners as well as their order accuracy. read more

I've been ordering from Panini Kabob Grill (and their other locations) for years, but this was our first time actually dining in and it was a great experience. The food has always been delicious, but enjoying it in the restaurant made it even better since everything was hot and fresh right off the grill. Our waiter, Jose, was attentive and friendly, and the manager, Hector, stopped by a few times to check on us, which made the experience feel even more welcoming and personal. The restaurant is spacious with patio seating, making it a comfortable place to relax and enjoy your meal. We ordered the family meal for four, and as always, it did not disappoint. It comes with two salads, we chose the romaine avocado and the strawberry date salad. The strawberry date salad is so good and definitely my favorite. The romaine avocado salad is also very fresh and flavorful. The chicken and flat iron steak kabobs were juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked perfectly. This location is at Paseo Colorado with parking underneath, and they validate, which is convenient. We'll definitely be coming back to dine in at this location again. Great hospitality! read more

Panini Kabob Grill - Family Style Meal - Mediterranean Near Me - Pasadena, California

Have you ever dined somewhere and known it was the employees worst day at work? That is how it felt when I went to Panini Kabob Grill. We waited a very long time for a table, at least 10-15 minutes. The wait was not because the restaurant was busy, there just was not enough staff to serve the current customers, clean up the tables, and seat a new party. There were at least 4 tables covered in used napkins and dirty plates, because no one could clean them up. We were patient however because some of the customers were being rude to the staff because the wait was long even when you sat down. We ordered the sample platter, everything was fine. I wanted to order a tofu panini but I was afraid that substituting tofu for chicken would be too hectic for the kitchen staff so I ended up with a falafel wrap and a Caesars salad. I liked the croutons, they were large and tasty. The falafel was good, I didn't enjoy the mint but that's just a personal preference! While seated, I noticed two parties sending their food back because there was an error with their meal so I was pretty happy I got the falafel and didn't try the tofu. Overall, I think this place might need more staffing but the food was adequate. read more

3.5. We came here on Valentine's Day for a galentines day celebration. Ordered the sample platter. We had to order more pits because there was not enough! Gray amount of hummus though. Tiramisu was good. They definitely were not prepared for the amount of people coming but did their best. Server was nice. read more

On a Saturday morning at 10am in late August, my sister and I came here for early lunch. We were nicely greeted and got a booth. Inside the space is huge. Only one server who is doing everything. We ordered hummus platter for appetizer and kebab plate with baklava. We waited and received our hummus plate first. There were 3 flavors hummus with pita breads. Next our chicken kebab platters arrived. It was huge of basmati rice and Cesar salad with one kebab. The chicken pieces were huge and juicy with grilled onion, bell pepper slices. The waitress stopped by a few times for refill water and checked on us. It was a filling lunch. Then, the baklava was not crispy. Only missed, No garlic sauce provided. Need to validate your parking ticket to get 90 min free parking. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by my visit to panini kabob grill. We really enjoyed the food here! The portions were generous for such a good price and the food was really tasty. The service was great too. All the servers were very friendly and accommodating. They were very understaffed though so I felt bad. They validated parking for 1.5 hours too so parking in the lot was easy! Will definitely come again read more

This place is fantastic! The location is excellent, in the Paseo and great for people watching :) They have both indoor and outdoor (dog friendly) seating and the space is big so seating is plentiful. The service is really great, as is the food. My favorites are the hummus, and the wraps. The options are healthy and filling, and the prices honestly cannot be beat for a sit down, full service restaurant that also has very reasonably priced alcoholic drinks. Give it a try! read more

I was surprised the previous restaurant went out of business! My co-worker suggested lunch here and I didn't even know it would be Mediterranean food. I didn't feel like having Mediterranean food today so I ordered Rigatoni Rosa, add prawns. The table also shared an appetizer and I really liked falafel here. It had a kick and not as dry as I thought it would be. The ingredients are fresh and I'd like to try a wrap next time. The restaurant was full during lunch on a weekday. I hope they hire more staffs. The waitress we had was amazing but I'm worried it's too much for them in the long run. Will be back for falafel for sure! read more

My wife and I had dinner at Panini Kabob Grill on an early Friday evening. It was not crowded and I hope that is not typical because the food is top notch! The interior is casual but clean and spacious. The staff was helpful and friendly. My wife is a vegetarian and she was very happy to see many choir to suit her taste. We started with the hummus trio which included traditional hummus, roasted red pepper hummus, and edamame hummus. We asked if we could get the hummus with half cucumber slices and half pita bread which they gladly accommodated. My wife got the falafel wrap with a spinach lavash and I got the chicken shish kabob with a Greek salad and rice. Secret tip! Ask for their house made hot sauce, it is delicious. They have beer and wine but the selection is limited. We were too stuffed to get dessert as the portions are quite generous. Sorry I didn't take photos as I was very hungry and got impatient. We loved our meal and definitely want to come back. read more

So, it's my second time , and the consistency is there. The food is properly made and the portions are great. Place has a fine dining atmosphere. From the chicken to the vegetables , properly charred. The rice is simply great . The salad it's always fresh. And the strawberry lemonade it's a must. Free refills btw. Meats are Slightly under seasoned but it can be easily resolved by requesting salt & black pepper. What made the dining experience memorable was our server Blanca . I really hope the restaurant will reward her passion and dedication to the customers. Keep up the good work . Sorry no pictures.., plates were licked cleaned ". read more

Service was alright, we got seated pretty quickly and got our food easily Waiter took a while to get our check, almost thought they forgot about us Love the high ceilings and options for both indoor and outdoor seating We got: -Lamb kebab plate (~$20): lamb not tender, kind of tough, would not recommend -chicken kebab plate (~$17): would eat if you like chicken over beef -Beef kebab plate (~$18): would recommend Beef, it was tender and delicious Overall, they give generous portions which is great if you're hungry, I went home with leftovers to spare I would come here if youre hungry, but not if youre looking for a nice/fancy meal read more

Took a while before Panini Kabob Grill opened up at the Paseo. I think I remember signage on the other side of the Paseo (off Green vs Colorado) a while back and then all of the signage disappearing. Guess they found out that Great Maple would eventually close so that they could take over a space that formerly housed another restaurant. I have been to other Panini Kabob Grill locations (Irvine and Rancho Cucamonga) and thought the food was decent for being a chain. Had similar thoughts after eating the beef koobideh platter last week. Although I prefer the food at Raffi's over this, you really can't beat the location as this is walking distance from home. Saffron rice was just ok as it tasted a bit bland when comparing to Raffi's. No complaints about service as our server was attentive and was available when we needed anything. Hope Panini Kabob Grill does well here and also brings additional foot traffic to the Paseo and restaurants seem to be the only reason to head there these days. read more

Everything sounded so good, but our server, I believe his name is Jose, recommended the koobideh. It was delicious.
